We Are Realogics Sotheby's International Realty The 2022 real estate market was a tale of two housing journeys. While the first half of the year saw ravenous buyers and escalating prices, buyers paused and sellers stepped back in the second half of 2022, as the Fed increased interest rates and inflation had many reevaluating their spending. Still, the global real estate advisors with Realogics Sotheby's International Realty achieved incredible results. They were ranked first among the top 10 largest real estate brands for average listing price, average listing sales price, and average buyer price. Most notably, RSIR agents consistently represent the highest sales volumes and the most productivity per broker, while doing so with among the lowest days on market. Specializing in both resale properties and new construction and RSIR proudly represents all price points and property types, from sea to sky.

Philanthropy Begins At Home Each of Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty’s brokerage offices across the Puget Sound region is ingrained in the neighborhoods and cities where they’re located, promoting a culture of care and support. From holiday toy drives and family adoptions to events where we open our doors to our neighbors, creating a positive impact in the communities that we live in and serve is of the utmost importance. In 2023, RSIR and its contributing agents co-sponsored a charitable gift through the Jones Family Foundation of $100,000, targeting the completion of the final 12 residences through New Story in Titanyen, Haiti, and completing a vision to turn a homeless community into a thriving enclave for the hopeful.
